NNew Year Will Bring New Rules for Disposing of Electronic Devicescourtesy of the pennsylvania township news magazine
New rules for disposing of electronic devices that take effect on January 24, 2013 will prohibit residents from throwing away laptops, computers, monitors, televisions, and other electronics with their trash (Covered Device Recycling Act of 2010).
“Proper recycling is important because there are millions and millions of devices, they have a limited useful life span, and they contain heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, and mercury, as well as other materials that do not belong in the normal trash stream,” state Secretary of Environmental Protection Michael Krancer said in a news release.
Many of these devices also contain valuable metals, such as gold, silver, and ©

platinum, and base metals, such as copper, iron and aluminum that can be separated and reused in new products. The law also requires manufacturers of covered devices to provide for the collection, transportation and recycling of these items through
one-day events, permanent collection programs or mail-back options.
Some retailers also accept electronics for recycling either at no charge or in exchange for rebates or coupons.
A current list of collection opportunities, including those
offered by manufacturers and retailers, is available by calling the DEP’s recycling hotline at (800) 346-4242. Electronics recycling information for county recycling coordinators can also be located at www.dep.state.pa.us, keyword “recycle.”
Thornbury TownshipResidents Enjoy
the 2012 Fall Festival
Thank you to the Public Works department
who set up and decorate for the festival and
then break down and clean up afterwards.
The displays and the park were beautiful! And
what would a fall festival be without the hay
ride? Thank you to Rick Schlosberg for lending
the Township the tractor and supplying the
bales of hay. Thank you to all of the residents
who came in costume and participated in the
Halloween Parade and Costume contest!

WHHello fellow Residents. This fall has been an exciting time in Thornbury Township. We have once again provided a great deal of activity for the residents to enjoy. Thanks to all that helped organize these events and a special thanks to those that have attended.
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the importance of Emergency Preparedness. Now that we have Hurricanes Sandy and Irene behind us in the past two years, it may be a good time to reflect on how well we were or were not prepared for these storms. We as a Township have worked diligently to ensure that our residents are well informed during the events.

We have posted info on our TV channel the website and have also sent out e-mails to those on our mailing list for updates on the local conditions. We realize that many residents do not have power or internet during these storms, but many have smart phones that enable them to stay connected.We have a number of helpful pieces of literature available at the Township
Thank You to the following residents,

building and have placed other information regarding emergency preparedness on our web site. If you have not done so, please sign up for our e-mail list to stay informed.
One proactive step that residents can take is to ensure that all roadside obstructions are cleared prior to the winter storms. Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code clearly places the responsibility of addressing traffic hazards created by vegetation on the property owner. Please take precautions to ensure safety of all motorists.

WWith Hurricane Sandy behind us, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Township staff and volunteers for all of their hard work. As we all know, there were many challenges during the storm as well as afterwards. There were countless hours put in by everyone to help our community get back to normal.
The Township sent numerous updates out during the storm to those who are signed up to receive our email alerts. I received many compliments on our communication during the storm. I urge you to sign up if you are not already. Please contact Sue at the Township building or email her at sue@thornbury.org

Sewer Committee Newshow can you prevent septic system failures?
An estimated 10 to 20 percent of septic systems malfunction each year, causing pollution to the environment and creating a risk to public health. With one-fourth of U.S. homes using septic systems, more than 4 billion gallons of wastewater per day is dispersed below the ground’s surface. Inadequately treated sewage from septic systems can cause ground-water contamination because it can contaminate drinking water wells and cause diseases and infections in people and animals.
The most obvious septic system failures are easy to spot, such as: Sewer odors in the house and/or drinking water (if using well water). Check for pooling water or muddy soil around your septic system or in
your basement. Notice whether your toilet runs sluggishly or sink backs up when you do laundry. You might also notice strips of bright green grass over the drain field and/or presence of raw sewage. Septic systems also fail when partially treated wastewater comes into contact with groundwater. This type of failure is not easy to detect, but it can result in the pollution of wells, nearby streams, or other bodies of water.
A septic tank accumulates solids which should be pumped out at least every three to five years. The frequency of pumping depends upon tank size, amount of water used, volume of solids in the wastewater and household size. Larger households generally require more frequent pumping (every
one or two years). A garbage disposer will add to the volume of solids and increase the frequency of pumping. Alternative systems with electrical float switches, pumps, or mechanical components need to be inspected more often, generally once a year.
Attention: Sewer Rent CustomersStarting with your January Statements you will see a new mailing address for submitting your payments. (6 Township Drive, Cheyney, PA 19319) In the past we have outsourced the Sewer billing. In 2013 we are bringing our sewer billing in house. Please be patient with us as we work through all of the details. Our goal is to best serve you! Sewer Loan Customers: this change will not affect your bills.

are as follows:
Recycling News
Did you Know...?Yard debris, including leaves and other organic plant material like shrubbery trimmings and grass clippings, are a significant source of storm water pollution. This debris can clog culverts, storm drains, and pipes, causing flooding. Debris can carry fertilizers and pesticides from your yard and deposit them in streams and ponds. Piles of leaves and grass clippings will overload a stream’s ability to process leaf litter, causing nutrient pollution and oxygen depletion.
How You Can Help:
Storm Water Pollution and Yard Wastethe importance of yard maintenance
Bonus
Recycle
Dates
• Do not pile leaves or other
yard waste near streams or
drainage channels where
they could blow or wash into
creeks.
• Do not blow leaves or grass
clippings off your property
into streets, streams, ponds,
or drainage swales.
• Recycle grass clippings. Let your
lawn benefit from their nutrients.
• Use a mulching lawnmower to
recycle remaining leaves into
your lawn in the fall!
• Compost leaves and grass
clippings with yard waste.
• Select a location removed from
streams, ponds and wetlands.

Winter EventsThe Rachel Kohl Library has a number of activities this winter. Our children story times will continue at their normal times; including our new preschool storytime series Letters of the Week on Wednesdays at 10:30am. For adults: on December 12 at 6:30pm, reading “Midnight Rising” by Tony Horwitz. Come join us for a movie and refreshments. The final part of our Classic Movie series will take place December 11 with “Christmas in Connecticut.”Winter FestivalOur 2nd Annual Winter Festival was held on December 2nd. This year featured a winter woodland for children with stories, fun crafts, face painting, a hot chocolate bar, entertainment and our tree lighting. The Friends of the Library sold handcrafted
holiday bows made by a former Christmas tree farmer in support of the library. Like last year, we collected donations of cold weather clothing and unwrapped toys in support of a local battered women’s shelter.Senior SpacesWe have received a Senior Spaces grant. We are in the process of creating a corner just for older adults with lifelong learning resources and activities. We’re always looking for your input and new ideas. Feel free to let us know of any programs or library materials you’d like to see in your new space!
Even more fun learning programs are coming this winter. Stay up-to-date by checking our calendar, our website (kohllibrary.org) or our Facebook page!
Ten Things You Can Do to Winterize Your Home
Clean Out Your GuttersMake sure the down spouts carry
water away from your house.
Block LeaksInstall door sweepers and
caulk windows and doors.
Insulate Your AtticAt least 12 inches is recommended.
Check Your FurnaceHave it cleaned and tuned annually.
Change filters monthly.
Vacuum/Clean Out Duct WorkSeal any exposed leaks.
WindowsInstall storm windows or a window
insulator kit. Replace windows if possible.
Keep Out Cold AirKeep chimney’s damper closed when
fireplace isn’t in use. Keep glass doors on
wood stoves closed when not in use.
Reverse Ceiling Fan DirectionPush warm air downward and force it to
recirculate (the fan is ready for winter if
the blades are turning clockwise).
HosesMake certain that the water to your hose
bibs is shut off inside your house (via
a turnoff valve), and that the lines are
drained. Wrap pipes that aren’t insulated,
or that pass through unheated spaces,
with pre-molded foam rubber sleeves.
AlarmsCheck the operation and change the
batteries on your home's smoke detectors.
Invest in a carbon-monoxide detector.
10
prizes were there on display and additional
survival food was provided. Three of our
Adventurers are shown at the destination
check-in. One of our adventurers found
something very unusual: a clump of Reindeer
Moss. The old bridge provided some great
views. The flowers were attractive to see (and
eat if you are a caterpillar)Then the trail was
taken back to Locksley Road where more
treasures were examined and more survival
food was provided to last
till lunch time. We all had a
fantastic time and hope to see
more residents participate in
EAC fun next time!
OHistoric Resource Properties (HRP’s) Our Township has 203 of these. We will be initiating a systematic review of each of these files, with the hope of doing a minimum of four complete reviews a year. HC with your help will verify and expand information on each HRP. The adage, “Trust but verify,” is particularly important when documenting history, whether it be the history of a building or of family members. We’ll provide more detail in the future.The Quaker CalendarIn its conception Thornbury Township was predominately Quaker. Those who research Quaker records may find the way in which Quakers dated letters, minutes and other documents, particularly before
1752, puzzling. Up to and including 1751 the Julian calendar was used and changed in 1753 to the Gregorian calendar. In these places the year officially began on March 25 and ended on the following March 24. So, confusing to us, 24 March 1750 was followed the next day by 25 March 1751. In 1752 the law changed: “Chesterfield’s Act” passed and the English year would begin on January 1. Thus the year 1751 began on March 25 1751 and ended on December
31, 1751, which was immediately followed by January 1 1752. Quakers followed the national practice with one exception, they objected to using names of days (Sunday to Saturday) and months (January to August) which derived from heathen gods or goddesses, employing instead numbers: thus Sunday was for them First Day. They had no difficulty with the months September to December, which derived from numbers, but for the other months, they substituted numbers, writing them out as First Month, Second Month, etc. The problem for the modern day reader is remembering that the year did not begin on January 1 until 1752, so that until 1752 February was Twelfth Month and March was First Month for Quakers.

Rustin High School Teams Support Breast Cancer Awareness
This past Fall season, several of the Rustin Athletic teams raised funds
for a local Breast Cancer non-profit organization: Unite for HER. The
students came together in an effort to bring awareness to Cancer by
wearing pink accessories during their games and soliciting donations.
The athletes set an example for their peers and parents alike. Not only
are they serving others, they encourage a healthy lifestyle and making
healthy choices.
